In a complete reversal of the last (horrific) trip to San Francisco, the Dodgers complete a three-game SWEEP(!!!) of the Giants, to climb back into (a tie for) first place in the NL West.

Clayton Kershaw was masterful, pitching a complete game shutout. It was, as Vin noted several times during the telecast, the first time the Dodgers have shut out the Gnats in back-to-back games in SF since the teams moved west.

Today wasn't as much of the Hanley Show as the last two days, but it's clear he's rubbing off on the rest of the lineup. Everybody threw up the above gesture when they got on base!

Luis Cruz continued his attempt to de-Gordon the Dodgers with a double, 2 RBI, and some dazzling glove work. A.J. Ellis had the most A.J. Ellis game possible, walking four times.

Dodgers finish the road trip 7-3 (which is flippin' AMAZING after some of those games in St. Louis), and, perhaps more importantly, Sax evens the Sons' road record at 1-1.

Home tomorrow against the D-Backs. We've got first place back, boys. Let's keep it for good this time.

Got hammered at my local MEX w the Dustettes. Mrs Dusty is "making" me take us to the game tomorrow night based on how she thinks we need to be there to welcome HanRam to DS. And the next night I'll be there with MDIL on KG bobblehead night.

Dodgers financial an PR teams: If you meant to woo us to stadium presence with nostalgia and important acquisitions, it's working.

Dangit i always wanted to fly, but everyone is too scared.....i might be out there for the next series, but i refuse to meet Sax if he doesn't have his face blurred out or a giant happy face in front of it...

I was out in the bleachers with my Lucky charm. My wife was 4-0 this season, now 5-0. Also we brought a sacrificial lamb, my sister, the albatross gnats fan who has never seen the gnats win a game, EVER, as in in the last 39 years, EVERY game she has been to, the gnats have lost!!!
